DRY rxrnivn OIL oomrourms No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, MAX HAMBURG, a

subject of Austria-'Hungary, residing at- Bishop Stortford,Hertfordshire, iii-England, have invented Improvements in Dry Fat andOil Compounds, of which the following is a specification.-

The administration, and use in manufacture, of fats and fatty oils .suchas castor oil, cod-liver oil and the like or mineral fats or oils suchas parafiin' B. P. in combination with, malt extract or maltodextrinobtained from starch are frequently rendered very v to attain suchcompounds in a solid, pulf verulent form byemulsifyingoil with gumquestion directly mixed, even in high pro-. portion, with highlyconcentrated malt exdifiicult or inconvenient bythe fatty flavor andtoughness of the .compound. The efficiency of such compounds is alsolargely dependent on the state of division of the oil therein, as thefull benefit canv only be derived from the oil if the same is in a veryfinely divided state. It has been proposed or adragant, and mixing the'mulsion with the extract, the resulting being converted into a drypowder by heingsubjected The object of the present invention is to.

obviate thesedrawbacks.

I have found that the oils and fats in tract or malto-dextrin syrup, bysuitable mechanical means such as an.-emulsifying machine running athigh speed, are converted into an emulsion Without, any addi-- tion ofemulsifying agents and water the resultant product, when dry, being acrisp mass which'can easily be pulverized or granulated. The process femulsifying in this" manner is greatelya eler ted if the malt extract orsyrup is p ously heated to about &0 or 50? (3., but this heating is notabsolutel essential. If. solid fats or mineral soli' such as cocoa-fator the higher Specification of Letters Patent.

.tain a compound which can be granulated,

remains in a very finely divided state.

.paraflinsare used, they must of course be liquefied by heat beforemixing with the extract or syrup. For example, I emulsify 25 or moreparts of castor-oil with '75 parts or less of highly-concentrated maltextract, by treatment with a high-speedmechanical mixer, and then reducethe mixture to a dry .form by the evaporation of the water preferably in'vacuo. This drying may be done by spreading-the mixture on heatedplates in a vacuum chamber at 40.1;0' 50 C. In-

stead of caster-oil cod-liver oil, paraflin 'oil B. P, or any other fat,mineral fat, or mineral oil may be used. By this means 1 oband containsunder favorable conditions up to 25- or more per cent. of oil. Mixedwith .Water, the powder produces at once a milky fluid not viscous,which proves that the oil What I claim as my invention and desiretosecure by States is 1. The process 'of producing matters hav-' ing thephysical properties of oils in solid form, and producing drypulverizable, compounds thereof with diastatic starch conversionproducts, which consists in directly mixing and emulsifying the saidmatters 'with highly concentrated diastatic starch,85

conversion products, without addition of a foreign emulsifying. agent,and drying the resulting emulsion.

2. The process consisting in directly emulsifyingnotless' than 25 partsof matte'rs having the physical properties Of'Oll.

with approximately 75 parts of highly. concentrated' diastatic starchconversion prod ucts, without addition of a foreign emul'sifying agent,and drying and granulating the resultant mixture.

3. A dry compound consisting of a water- 7 free composition of 25 ormore per cent. of matters having the. physical properties of .oil with.7 5 or less per cent. of highly 0011- centrated diastatic starchconversion products, without addition of .a foreign emulsi-i fyingagent.

' In witness. whereof I have signed this specification in the presenceof two w1t ios nesses. i
